IPod Firmware bug?

Hi.
I just bought an iPod Nano 2Gb Black about 1 month ago.
But unfortunally it has started to "hang" at the star ratigng system. If i go to that option, i can't make i disappear. :S I keeps showing that screen even though i push the center button.
Is this a Firmware bug, and how do I fix it? It's ******* me off that an only 1 month old iPod already screwed me like that.

This is a known bug with some iPod models, including yours.
You'll need to update your iPod to the newest firmware using the latest iPod Updater Utility to resolve this problem.
Additionally, since you have a Nano, you may want to post future topics in the Nano forum instead of the 5th Generation iPod forum.

Firmware bugs

Hello!
I found three firmware bugs and already informed the hotline about one of them in january. It is not fixed in firmware 1.1, so I am posting here.
The first, already reported, bug can be seen with German language setting when configuring the alarm clock. The dialog where you can enter the desired alarm time shows am/pm time although the other time options change to 24h display when setting the iPod to German.
The second bug is inside the game Solitair. Very often you can't move a card to the "finished" stack, although it matches perfectly. For example you can move a red four on top of a black five, but not on top of the (matching) red three at the top.
The third bug is inside the game Brick. I noticed sometimes the ball does not get faster over time which makes it very easy to go through all levels. In fact after some time the first level re-appears.
The following facts are annoying, but I don't know if I can call them bugs.
a) My computer very often loses the connection to the iPod while transferring (large) files. I am using opensource software (Linux, gtkpod), so it might be something to preven t users from using non-supported hardware.
The first message indicating the problem is
"Nov 26 13:38:13 carsten-otto usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 71" just after the transfer stopped. This message repeats some times and then everything gets messy.
b) Videos stop playing with sound after some time. I did not try with official videos yet, but my self built videos do meet the requirements and should play. After about ten seconds the video stops for about 5 seconds and then starts again, but from now on without sound. Whenever I seek to a new position I can have sound again, but only for another ten seconds.
Please tell me how to solve the problems and/or how to contact Apple so that they can help me.
Thank you,
Carsten Otto

The Video issue I am having, and I believe all people are having with 5th Generation Video IPODS. I've installed probably 8 or 9 programs over the last two days, hoping to find one that doesn't screw up the video/sound after a few minutes.
It's interesting because none of the Video Podcasts seem to have a problem running on it, but some information regarding how this is working for Video Podcasts but nothing else is missing. I would hope a firmware upgrade is in the works to fix this problem, because if not I anticipate a large recall, and I think this would be bad publicity for Apple, at a time when many competitors are biting at the bit to take a share out of the market.

Firmware bug: $CCERT must not be used in Report_Rule

Prolog
"Report Rule" can be configured with URL's used to save phone's current configuration. Starting with 7.5.2b firmware it is possible to configure more than one URL here. The semi-colon has been used as separator. It caused issues because semi-colon can be used in casual URL, so the separator has been changed to space in 7.5.5 (see Bug in Report_Rule parsing (SPA50x, fw 7.5.x) for more)
As of 7.5.7 firmware, the 2048 certificates has been introduced and value of $CCERT variable may contain text "Installed (2048 bits)". It cause other issue related to Report Rule parsing.
Issue & how to repeat
$CCERT can be used on "Report Rule" no longer because of wrong parsing order.
The author of firmware first call variable expansion for complete "Report Rule" string, then split the result by space in attempt to found second URL.
With Report Rule configured to https://test.local/Report.php?Product=$PN&CERT=$CCERT it is parsed to:
first_rule is https://test.local/Cisco/Report.php?Product=SPA508G&CERT=Installed, second_rule is (2048 bits)
It is wrong result. In advance, it reveal the characters inserted into URL by variable expansion are not escaped properly.
How to fix
The order of parsing steps needs to be reversed. Report Rule need to be split into parts first, then variable expansion should be called for both parts independently. Also, strings expanded from variables should be url-encoded properly.
Disclaimer
I will not call SMB support to report this bug to them. Assuming the Cisco is interested to repair firmware bugs a staff member monitoring this forum will create ticked by self. I wish that all relevant information including the depth-in analysis has been disclosed here. I'm ready to provide further details or create test environment if necessary. I'm just not willing to call the Support center as I'm not willing to explain all those complex things described here by phone (and they doesn't accept written reports).
For those non-Cisco-staff users affected by issue - feel free to report the issue to Support center, if you are willing to do it. You are allowed to use information disclosed here, or just refer to this report. I don't care the authorship.

You are not alone on this one, I am having the very same issue as you are and . Everything functioned just fine the last time the application was deployed was deployed and there was nothing changed to any of the reports or code which handles the reports; however, this time I am having the same issue. I added the parameters to the report to check to see if they were actually being recognized by the report and they do show up, but it refuses to filter the records and brings back every record. The report works properly if I run it just directly in Crystal though. I sure hope someone can enlighten us Paul.
Update: Well, I finally figured out what was causing my issue. The issue had to deal with the actual older version of the CrystalReportViewer control and the newer version supplied by the update. I had suspected it was something minor that I had overlooked when doing the update. Hope this gets you going as well. Cheers

Hi,
I was trying to update my iPod firmware, but it couldnt download the firmware package, trying to convince me I was not connected to the internet.

Thanks
Ivan

1.0.3 will not provide the ability to skip albums... shuffles don't have that capability.
Sorry...

Help: Ipod Stuck on Restoring iPod Firmware

I left my iPod touch (1G) on overnight to let it update,some error popped up and said I have to restore my iPod, so I did. I left it on to restore and has it is taken 2 hours so far and is stuck on the Restoring iPod Firmware. Is there a solution to this. Also my iPod is already in recovery mode.

Also it was not and never has been jailbroken if that helps.

E55 Thread for Firmware Bugs

I noticed that there isn't yet a thread in order to report E55 firmware bugs, so I started this
Here the firmware bugs I've found:
- Hidden WLAN: when you search for wireless access points (for example from the main screen) the phone see always one "hidden wlan", that is not there!
- Default phone numbers: when you have more phone numbers for a contact, you can choose one of these as default for messaging or dialing, but even if you do that, E55 keep asking you what number to use every time you make a sms
- Organizer major bug: sometimes (80% of times!) when you edit a memo in Organizer, or when you move it (by changing the start date), you will see that also the end date has changed (adding 1 or more days), even if you didn't touch it! And even if the start and the end date originally matched! So if you had a memo covering one day, now it covers more days, and the end date can't be changed again (you set the correct date, save, and none happens). This make the memos totally unusable!
- Organizer minor bug: when you open Organizer, and then open a memo, you have to select the information that you want to modify (text, date, synch) and click one more time to edit the memo. But: if you select the "date" or the "synch" row, instead of the "text" row, and then click "modify", the memo is open alway with the cursor on the "text" row. So, the capability of selecting others rows, is pretty useless.
I hope some Nokia guy will notice this thread so there informations can be useful for a future firmware release, also because I'm getting crazy with the memos issue!!

hi olandesevolante
about ur first and second issues u face they r not realy bugs, why?
for the first one: i faced that with my E51 in a place i visited before, that hidden WLAN maybe a conflict from another type of waves other than that of wlan using same frequency
and about the second issue: default phone numbers is a feature that only set for making calls but when u make an sms the phone will ask u to choose between numbers present unders the same contact name even if u set a default number, so it is not a bug but that is the normal firmware properties
for the rest of issues , they sound like real bugs
i hope i helped a little and i wish those bugs will be removed in the next firmware

Latest iPod firmware version

Hello,
I don't have easy access to iTunes, so I ask this to you all.
As of today, what is the latest version for iPod firmware?
(I have a 5.5 Generation iPod video, if that makes a difference)

Mine says Software Version 1.3. It's a 30GB 5th gen iPod. I bought it as a refurb toward the end of the model run, so it should be a "5.5" model.
(I have a 5.5 Generation iPod video, if that makes a difference)
It does make a difference. Every iPod model has different internal software.

Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500

Every time I want to use the computer (HP Compaq 6005 Pro small form factor) I have to switch it on and then push the reset button after booting up to a black screen.
I once got :
Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500 (LVT offset0) for vector 0x400 but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another CPU.
Any ideas?
Is Linux reporting a real firmware fault or is it wrong?

Firmware bug? No Connect/Disconnect button on "Manual" PPPoE option

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge this is a firmware bug.
There is no Connect/Disconnect option when choosing "Manual" from the PPPoE settings.
There are two related (unanswered) posts:

Is there an official way to report such a bug?
Does anybody have another solution?
Thanks,

What is the current version of the iPod firmware?

Hello,
I'm currently running the "other OS" and can't get iTunes.
Could someone please tell me what the current version of the iPod firmware is? This way, I'll know whether I need to go to a Mac or PC computer to update the firmware of my 5th gen iPod. Thank you very much.

This question is now answered. I wonder if there's a webpage that will post the most current version number when the firmware changes. I guess I could keep asking every now and then. Or one of the Apple iTunes users can update all of us when iTunes lets him know that version has changed.

IPod firmware 1.2.1

Hello all,
I was curious how recent the iPod firmware version 1.2.1 is and if anyone has had any of the previously known issues after upgrading to this version. Issues being the "blue denim" screen, iPod locking up, songs skipping, etc.
I tried upgrading my iPod to 1.2 a while back and had to restore it back to 1.0 again to get it working properly so I'm extremely hesitant to upgrade again.
Thanks!

Hm, this is the firmware I have on my 80GB video iPod and mine will freeze up overnight. If I leave the iPod disconnected from any USB2.0 cord and leave the hold switch ON, for say, 10-12 hours (as in overnight) my iPod will be frozen in the morning guaranteed. It's more of an annoyance than anything because it can be reset using menu & select and all is fine and dandy. Now, if I leave it disconnected from a USB2.0 cord but do not leave it on hold then it will not be frozen when I check in the morning. Odd.
My theory is the latest firmware v. 1.2.1 is causing the problem.
Custom Windows XP Pro

Is the new ipod firmware update the cause of them freezing?

the frimware update for the ipod turned my 2 day old video into a paper weight. yesterday when i plugged my ipod in, itunes asked me to download the newest itunes, so i did. then, immediately, after downloading itunes urges me to udate the ipod firmware. i hadnt gotten used to the o.s that was already on my new ipod so i postponed the update. i uploaded 200 songs, 5 music videos, and superman, worked beautifully. today i plugged it in to my pc and itunes urged me to update the firmware again, so i did. everything went smooth, i unplugged it and saw no indicator saying to plug it in to my wall charger, so i didnt, an hour later i plugged Giada (my ipod) back in to upload some ebooks, the "do not disconnect" screen frozeimmidiately my pc would not recognize it neither would itunes, ive been at it for hours and nothing has changed. ive tried Giada in three other computers its the same with all of them. it works otherwise, listening to music, but while plugged into my pc its a peice of metal.
does anybody know whats up, and how to fix it?

So, Godmorning from Sweden
After hours of scanning diffrent forums i found a method which worked for me, you can put the G5 Video in "Disk Mode" by first
1. Reboot (Key lock, Key unlock, Menu+Middle several seconds, 6-10sec)
2. Press Middle+Play just when the reboot starts.
This enables Diskmode, to exit diskmode just do a standard reboot.
When my Ipod enterd "disk mode" i could access it with iTunes and did a factory reset, and "for the moment" my problem is solved.
I hope this tip helps people....

During restore iPod stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

As stated by me above, during restore iPod got stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE. Last time tried different computer, it did work. Next, with different firmware file (when the-other-computer-trick stopped working) like 2.0.2 and then upgrading it - worked for a time. Now, I cannot find ANY way to restore it. Just by itself it accidentally and randomly enters the so called DFU mode and this time I just cannot restore it, every time it's stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

try have it restored in an apple store mate..
if that still doesnt work, send it back and have it replaced..

Nokia 5320 XM firmware bugs concerning date and al...

Hello!
Although already having twice sent in my Nokia 5320 XpressMusic for repair, I'm still suffering from severe firmware bugs concerning date and alarm of the device. Here some information on when and how the bugs are showing themselves:
Settings: A different weekly alarm is programmed for each day of the week. The phone is being switched off for the night.
The programmed alarm is being run correctly by the phone. The phone is being switched on after having disabled the alarm.
Some time later the date changes to four or five days in the future. Moreover the phone starts to ring for the day the date has changed to. Often it's not ringing at the time that has been programmed for that day, even though pretending to do so.
Example:
9:45 on Sunday: phone is correctly ringing at the programmed time.
10:15 on Sunday: phone is incorrectly ringing again pretending it was Friday 7:50
the clock remains unchanged, however the date has changed automatically for five days
Linked to this error, there seem to exist similar problems with date and snooze-function already mentioned on these forums:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=145323
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=144139
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=143893
As I mentioned above, I already sent my phone in twice, however I always got it back with the mention: repaired on guarantee. To me, this seems rather disgraceful for Nokia. I sincerely hope, that, if necessary with the pressure of other users being concerned as well, we arrive to get a phone that is really working as one could await it from the leader in mobile phone production!
I hope we will be informed soon about when there will be a firmware update!
Thanks for your replies!
Regards,
Lorenz

Have the same problem, as I already mentioned in my posts too. But unfortunatly no reply from Nokia either. Seems they really don't care about it. It would be at least apropriate, that they at least announce time of new firmware and note if they will fix this problem with it.
But no replay from them I contacted local nokia dealer in Slovenia, but they just say they can not help. And that we must wait for new firmware.
Now I wonder, when it should came out ?! I am sick of this trouble with my phone. and as you said, I am also turning off my phone since I want my battery to last longer. so this bug must be fixed.
Nokia team, anyone?!?!?
